Arsenal reschedule West Ham, Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Norwich games

Arsenal have notified fans about their fixtures against West Ham, Crystal Palace, Sunderland and Norwich that have been rescheduled for television purposes.

Their trip away to West Ham that was originally set to take place at 3 p.m on Saturday, April 9, will now kick off at 12:45 p.m instead.

The second fixture to be rescheduled is their home match against Crystal Palace which was originally being played on Saturday, April 16, but is now due to be played on Sunday, April 17 at 4 p.m.

However, the club say that the game could yet revert to Saturday, April 16 (a possible 5.30 p.m kick off), and that final confirmation of the date and kick off time is subject to a number of factors including Arsenal's progress in The Emirates FA Cup.

The third fixture changed is their away match against Sunderland, which was going to take place on Saturday, April 23, has been moved to a 2:05 p.m kick off on Sunday, April 24.

Similarly to the Crystal Palace game, the date and kick off time of this match is yet to be completely confirmed based on Arsenal's Emirates FA Cup participation.

The final fixture date to be altered is against Norwich, on Saturday, April 30 which has been changed from a 3 p.m to a 5:30 p.m kick off.

The statement mentions that this particular tie could yet switch to Sunday, May 1 (possible 4 p.m kick off) due to a number of factors, including the progress of English Clubs in European competitions.

It is likely that that there will be more clarity around this fixture at some point between mid-March and mid-April.

The 'standard' TV selections have now been made up to the end of April 2016. Ordinarily, fixtures up to this date will not now change. However, as ever, all fixtures remain subject to change and circumstances may yet arise which result in further fixture changes.
